No, not if you are taking them to a vet and it is being done under sedation or a local anaesthetic is being used. It must be performed by a vet with some form of anaesthesia At this age you tend to find the testicles have descended further and so are easier to locate and remove

At this stage the levels of testosterone are usually very low and so you don't see any behavioural difference. Castrating at any age tends to reduce male behaviour/characteristics but certainly, in most kunekune, before 4 months will make little difference. Although some boars by that stage may be exhibiting boar like behaviour - there are always exceptions to the rule
